The Love Ride

4. Day 1: First glance

The day had arrived when Ananya was going to start her new journey. All set for the day, she was up early and was ready to conquer the first day.

At 9 am sharp, Ananya stepped out of her house; And her heart skipped a beat when she saw him, on his bullet, coming towards her, wearing a white shirt, blue jeans and shades. Ananya looked at him with widened eyes, lips parted, and she even forgot to blink. And Vikram smirked at her from afar.

"Hi, good morning" Vikram greeted her as she stood there mesmerized.

"H-hello, good morning" She replied stuttering as she was still processing what she just saw.

"Shall we start?" He asked, his voice soft and calm.
"Yes" She exclaimed.

Vikram completed the remaining formalities and slid into the passenger seat while Ananya sat in the driver seat, filled with joy but still a little scared.
Before Vikram could say anything, she started the car on her own. And when he looked at her with amazement, she smiled with excitement.

"Don't tell me you know how to drive and you are taking me on a long drive!" Vikram said in a stern yet playful tone.

"Yes! You are right. From now, you are my passenger princess." Ananya shot back and laughed.

Vikram was too stunned to speak at her answer, so he changed the topic immediately-
"Enough jokes for today, now focus."

"Okay." She agreed.

Vikram continued to instruct her and she followed every instruction seriously.

An hour passed, Ananya was driving slowly and steadily, while Vikram was formally instructing her. Ananya was focused and so was Vikram.
At 11, they were home. Ananya was smiling ear to ear, and Vikram was impressed with her and her driving.

"Looks like you will learn before 10 days mam." He assured.

"Hmm maybe.....Don't call me mam, say Ananya instead." She asserted.

"Umm. Okay.
See you tomorrow, Bye."

"Bye"

~Vikram's Pov~

Today's morning was filled with anxiety as I was going to meet my first "female" learner. Interacting with any girl has been a big deal for me, I always mess up things. Unable to decide which colour to wear, I wore white shirt, because white never goes wrong!

At 9 am, I reached her home, she was standing in front of her house, simply dressed, hair in a bun, waiting for me, excitedly. Taking advantage of my shades, I looked at her from afar, her big doe eyes were fixed on me, and mine on her. I couldn't help smiling at the way she was looking at me. This was the first time when my heart was racing but I didn't stutter. I was anxious yet confident.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement. And now I knew why she texted me at 1 am, it was all because of her enthusiasm. As we sat in the car, she started the car on her own, I looked at her and she gave me a smile. I was impressed indeed.

I didn't wanted to be funny on the first day but I couldn't hold back my words. I teased her and she immediately shot back, honestly I wasn't expecting that. She was so confident and to be honest, I liked that.

I reached home and revisited everything that happened today. Her eyes, smile, voice; everything just stayed in my mind whole day.

"Stop smiling idiot." I mumbled as I found myself smiling in the mirror.

What was this weird feeling? This weird smile? She made me feel something that I never felt.

~Ananya's Pov~

"He is so handsome" I whispered as I saw him coming towards me. I was mesmerized, his soft deep voice made me snap back to reality. Everything about him was just handsome.

I indeed wanted to make a good impression on the first day so I started the car by myself, but instead of praising me, he said something unexpected. But little did he knew that I am very good at comebacks!

As I finished my first day of learning, I called my mom and updated her about everything. She was very happy to know about the first day. Both my parents were praising me on the call, and then there was my brother Arun-

"Kisi ko uda mat dena raste me, jail hojygi." He joked in a stern voice.

[Do not hit anyone on the road, you will be jailed.]

"Nahi, tu hota road par toh sochti bhi. Kisi ajnabee ko uda kar kya fayda!" I replied.

[No, if you were on the road then I would have thought of hitting you. There's no advantage in hitting unknown people]

Everyone on the call burst into laughter. And my brother sighed as his joke went in vain. Second person to know about the first day was my Bestfriend~ Simran.
She knew that my instructor is a handsome guy and she wanted all the details.

"So, how is he madam?" Simran asked as soon as she picked up the call.

"Very handsome." I replied in a low voice.

"You already told me that! Tell me something I don't know!" She exclaimed and I chuckled at her excitement.

"What all happened today? Tell me everything." She shouted on the call.

We talked for 2 hours straight, and I told her everything that happened and she listened carefully. Simran has been my friend since school, and today she lived in Mumbai, far in distance but still close to my heart. She know everything about me and I know everything about her.

"Acha let me give you a good news!"

"What is it?" I asked eagerly.

"I am coming to Delhi next week and I want to meet you!!" She screamed.

"What?? Oh my god! I cannot wait to see you!!" I screamed too.

"Yeah me too!"

"Okay then see you next week han!" I said smiling.

"Sure babygirl" She exclaimed and I cut the call.

My mind replayed everything and I just smiled. Thankfully he is not rude; Little strict, but not rude. He is good at his job and I am indeed elated.
